The Glasgow Men’s Reading Circle aims to build community in Glasgow through shared reading and discussion. In the UK today, men read for pleasure at a much lower rate than women, creating missed opportunities for connection, reflection and shared experiences. The Men's Reading Circle are looking to close that gap.
They are an inclusive, welcoming space for all men, including trans men and non binary people comfortable in a masculine environment.
In September they'll be reading Air by Christian Kracht
Two men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations.
Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety. Inventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, Air is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today.
Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality's inverted twin.
